Recorded monuments

• LF027-027 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low rise in pasture. Depicted as a large subcircular tree-planted enclosure on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a roughly circular enclosure on the 1914 ed. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded that, although levelled, the outline of the perimeter of the monument could still be traced defining a roughly circular area (diam. 45m). Further levelling has since occurred and it is not visible at ground level. Possibly a rath that was subsequently landscaped. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 February 2012

• LF027-028 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a knoll in otherwise low-lying pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 33m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone at S and W and elsewhere defined by a naturally occurring scarp. There was no trace of a fosse and the original entrance was not recognisable. Large boulders protruded from the interior. The monument has since been levelled but is visible as a cropmark on an OSI aerial photograph (ibid.). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 5 December 2012

• LF027-031 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough, low-lying pasture; the Tang River, which marks the border between counties Longford and Westmeath, is adjacent to the SE. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that this raised circular area (diam. c. 34m) was defined by two banks with an intervening fosse. It is defined by a scarp (H 1.8m), at the base of which is a fosse (Wth 2.6m; D 0.4-1.3m). The outer bank is no longer identifiable and the original entrance is not recognisable.
